Like the comments Amateur. I would love to see an interview with all of the players and their circumstances that brought them to Vegas. Esp. if someone came out to support their porn addiction or something…

The only thing I have to ask is, have you actually met Raymer? He’s the biggest douche! I have some stories about that asshole. I am the guy that gave these guys their story about the shit storm Glum Girl made over a ring in L.A.! I really could write a book about some of the things I’ve seen. And I haven’t been around the game as long as some other media types.

I would like to see a true interview with Moon as to why he made the journey to Vegas and dropped 10k on a Poker Tournament. There may be bits and pieces of a story out there but I want to hear it from him.

Noeman Chad has to have a chubby due to Phil making thr FT. every year we have heard Norm talk about how Ivey is his man.ugh.

I am happy for Phil but will he be a good ambassador for poker? Who has been the past few years? I would have to say Greg Raymer has been the best!

Chinaman,

We hear you on the points, but if Moon goes back in the woods, he serves no real good to promote poker. We left out in this post (it’s in the Bluff column coming out next month) that Moneymaker had a great story: everyday Joe account wins $33 satellite on Stars and turns that into $2.5M. Then Moneymaker embraced the role and has served as a good ambassador to the game, bringing in countless new players. Just don’t think Moon will do that.

Johnny Colossal Head, we think you missed the point. We’re looking for people who will bring a greater interest to the game, cause excitement, and bring in new players.

lmao, what a bunch of a wannabe, envious douchebags you people are! Since when has it become the norm for poker players to be “good” or “bad” celebrities? It’s POKER!!! It’s a freakin past time for the vast majority of the worlds players. Do you expect everyone who ponies up $10K to play in a tournament to aspire to be the next media whore in the overhyped circus that the WSOP has become? I love the fact that the chipleader is just some regular shmo from East Bumfuck, USA !! How can you NOT love this guy?!? After he wins whatever prize he wins, he’s going back to his old life and leaving the circus behind and good for him for doing so. The envy of other peoples successes in poker is just silly. Every mouth breather comes out of the woodwork to judge them. too funny….
